These are the Apostles and Patron Saints of the British Isles and adjacent lands.
An Apostle here refers to the one who introduced Christianity to the realm in question.
Patron Saint here does not necessarily mean an “official” patron saint designated by a governmental entity so much as a person widely regarded as such on a popular level.
